If engine turns the pulley connected to harmonic drives alternator and water pump. Shoot some video and post on youtube and give us a link... don't even have to start just let it turn for a second or 2.

Will do,

I put it all back together and gave it a crank and it turned. Didn't start but the pulleys do all spin.

researching I found this thread and decided to pull the starter to see what's going on there. I noticed a lot of metal shavings that look new.

I'll grab some pictures, and maybe a video if I can figure out how to upload it.

The noise your hearing "when the pulleys are not moving" is that starter turning without turning over the motor. The flywheel teeth appear to be stripped pretty badly in that one spot. By turning the motor by hand IE moving the big pulley at the bottom that is hard to turn, you can move it to a good part of the flywheel to get the starter to engage again; but that is only a temporary fix.

Yes, -- look like it's time for a new flywheel - change the damper plate while you at it... you also myigh be able to get a machine shop to install a ring... but I am not an expert... This is where the dead engines help out with parts... IMO
